Paleo 411: Most helpful Kitchen Gadgets when going paleo

Two of my most used #paleo-friendly kitchen gadgets are the Veggetti spiralizer and the Nutribullet. 

Sometimes you just have to have a delivery mechanism for that great #paleo friendly sauce. That's where a spiralizer can be your new best friend. I use mine to create #zoodles (zucchini noodles) with a fresh pesto sauce or cucumber spirals with a spicy sesame sauce. Spot on, when I'm craving pad Thai.  There are several spiralizers in the market, ranging from simple and inexpensive to complex and a chunk of change. You can find the Veggetti at Walgreens in the As Seen On Tv aisle or somewhere like Target for under $20. 
 
 
 
The other gadget/tool I use religiously is my Nutribullet. Beyond using it for smoothies, I use mine to make gravies without having to use flour or arrowroot. 

For delicious, guilty free Pot Roast gravy, take some of the wonderful juices created from your pot roast and put it in the large Nutribullet container. Then add lots of the cooked veggies from your pot roast. Blend until smooth. If you want it thicker, add more veggies. Season to taste. 

Beware: do not fill the Nutribullet over half way full as the heat builds up when blending and will explode when you open it (this is from personal experience!) Also, let the gravy sit a couple if minutes before opening to avoid being scalded!

The Cleaner for Women Detox Review

Image
This will be a seven day detox program. I decided that before I start taking iodine for a bromine detox, I'd empty everything out of my system that could get in the way of releasing the toxins out of my body. I do not want the toxins hanging around making me feel sick. I'm not usually "regular", so there is a good chance that I could get sick from the detox. Besides, I just got back from traveling where I don't eat the best or move enough, so a good  cleaning out would do me good. :) I am using The Cleaner by Century pharmaceuticals. I bought it at GNC and paid way too much, apparently. Day One - Monday, March 9 Because I am very sensitive to drugs, I took 2 pills at 1pm, then 1 pill at 3pm instead of the 4 that the directions say to take at bedtime. I didn't experience any cramping. No bloating.  No bad taste. No runs to the bathroom, basically no side effects the first day.   Day Two - Tuesday, March 10 Had to go to the bathroom in the morning
